PREFACE
T^HE purpose of this work is to give a short sketch of the lineage
* of prominent persons in Canada to-day, with notes of anything
of interest or importance regarding any ancestor, and especially to record,
briefly but permanently, the achievements of those who, having served their
country with distinction, have passed away, but whose names should not be
dropped or their deeds forgotten, as is necessarily the case in reference
works the scope of which is limited to the living.
It was intended at first to confine the work to families of early settlers;
but it cannot be overlooked that Canada, though old in tradition, is yet, in
its broad expanse, but a new country, whose citizenship is constantly being
augmented by new comers from the older stock of the mother lands. The
scope of the work, therefore, will include those who, however recent, are
intentionally residents in Canada.
The work will portray the armorials of such of the families herein em-
braced as have coat-armour and are accustomed to use it, for the
recognition and preservation of those cognizances borne by our forefathers
lend to enhance the interest and value of family history.
The Heraldic Addenda contain the arms of notables connected with
the events in Acadia, New France, and the two Canadas. Others will be
added in subsequent sections.
The Provincial Armorials are in accordance with the designs and
official descriptions furnished through the kindness of the several Secretaries
of the Provinces.
It will be noticed that the shield armorials of the Dominion seem com-
plicated (although composed only of the arms of the first four provinces to
enter Confederation), yet are quite bare of those component parts which go
to a complete achievement ; i. e., crest, supporters, and motto. It is to be
hoped that a shield will soon be adopted simpler to the eye, yet more
comprehensively representative and having its proper complements.
The Editor is very much indebted to the advice and kind co-operation
of the author of "Ontarian Families."— Mr. EM. Chadwick, K.C. of Tor-
onto— to whose judgment and learning, especially in ecclesiastical heraldry,
the writer has been glad to defer.

federation. He was not long in office, however, when stirring events proved
that he possessed all the ability necessary to meet the occasion. First came
•The Trent affair," 1 862, that raised bad blood in the country, and re-
quired wise and tactful administration. Then in 1 864 a Ministerial crisis
was brought about through parties being too evenly balanced in the House
and the Government was defeated by two on a measure of vital importance
to the country. On petition of the Ministry for dissolution. His Excellency,
while expressing his willingness to abide by the advice of his ministers, set
forth, in an able memorandum, the dilficulties of the situation and advised a
course that would avoid appealing to the electorate, where there seemed,
through the excited condition of the country, but litde chance of a satisfac-
tory result. The wisdom of this advice the Ministry acknowledged and
followed. Under his regime the plan of Confederation was worked out
and accomplished in 1 867, he becoming first Governor General; he relin-
quished office in 1868. (A. Hamlyn Todd.)

the shield the mitre of a Bishop. Note : The tree in the diocesan arms is taken, in
compliment to Dr. Hamilton as first bishop, from his family crest. Burke gives the
following account of the origin of this crest: "Sir Gilbert Hamilton, founder of the
family, having slain John de Spencer in a rencounter, fled from the court of Edward
1 1. Being pursued, he and his attendant changed clothes with two wood-cutters,
and, taking their saws, were in the act of cutting through an oak tree, when his pur-
suers passed by. Perceiving his servant notice them. Sir Gilbert hastily called out:
'Through,' which word, vsdth the oak and saw through it, he took for a crest to
commemorate his deliverance."

BA RON LI SGA R
Baron Xt0aar,2n^ (Bovernor (general of Canada.
OlR JOHN YOUNG (1807-76). 2nd baronet of Bailieborough
*^ Castle, Co. Cavan, was educated for the bar, to which he was
called at the age of twenty-seven. In 1831 he entered political life,
becoming member for Co. Cavan as a moderate Tory. In 1 84 1 he
was appointed a lord of the Treasury in Sir Robert Peel's ministry;
and three years later became one of the Secretaries of the Treasury.
In 1 846 he was Chief Secretary for Ireland under Lord Aberdeen,
and entered the Privy Council in 1852. In 1855 he was appointed
Lord High Commissioner of the Ionian Islands (G. C. M. G.) — then
under a British protectorate — ; and, in 1861, accepted the Governor
Generalship of New South Wales, which office he held until 1 867.
In both the latter offices he was unfortunate, in that he left each under
the cloud of official displeasure, caused rather by adverse and trying
circumstances than by poor judgment. That the government appre-
ciated these facts and had confidence in his abilities is attested by his
bemg gazetted a G. C. B., and offered the governor-generalship of
Canada — at a time, too, as events proved, when sound judgment was
required.

BA R ON LI SG A R
It was, in a measure, due to those same misfortunes that Young
determined to accept the Canadian office ; for it had been tendered to
Lord Mayo and others, who refused it, on the ground that "the Cana-
dian government had impaired the dignity of the office by reducing the
governor's salary." Sir John was appointed to the position, which
included the governorship of Prince Edward Island — not then con-
federated— in 1 869. The first year of his administration was dark-
ened by the first Riel Rebellion. The following year he was created
Baron Lisgar of Lisgar and Bailieborough. He resigned in 1872,
and died four years later, when the barony became extinct.
That his short official life in Canada was successful is best evi-
denced, perhaps, by the following quotation from Pope's "Life of Sir
John Macdonald:" "In Sir John Macdonald's opinion. Lord Lisgar
was an ideal governor, the ablest of all those under whom he served;
Sir John Young was a man of great sagacity, of large experience, and
sound judgment. His single desire was to promote the best interests of
the Dominion of Canada, and to his wnse and prudent counsels Sir
John Macdonald was greatly indebted" (Editor).

"According to Longmuir's edition of Jamieton's Scottish dictionarj, the
word 'heriot' is derived from the Anglo-Seixon, and signified the tribute given
to the lord of the manor for his better preparation for war; but came at length
to denote the best beast, of whatever kind, which a tenant died possessed of, due to
his superior after death. Professor Innes, in his work entitled, 'G)ncerning Some
Scottish Surnaunes,* classes the surname 'Heriot' among those derived from places
or lands. There is a parish and a river in it, both of the name of 'Heriot,' about
twenty miles southeast of Edinburgh; also a small stream of the name in the parish
of G>ckburnspath, Berwickshire. The first notice believed to have been yet found
of the name used as a surname is that of 'Willelmo de Heryt,' who was witneM to
a charter granted by King William the Lyon, prior to 1214."
The Scottish historian, George Buchanan (1506-82), whose mother was
Agnes Heriot, a daughter of the house of Trabroun, says that William Heriot and
another aided in the escape of Robert, High Steward of Scotland, from Rolhesay,
whither he had fled from the English, after the battle of Halidon Hill (1333)
The escape of the Steward, afterward Robert II„ proved to be one of the most
important events in Scottish history.
By a charter from Archibald, Earl of Douglas, in 1423, confirmed by
James I. of Scotland, the lands of Trabroun, some 400 acres in East Lothain,
were granted, for military service, to John Heriot, who is described 2is "squire and
son to his confederate, James Heriot of Niddry Marischal. " The estates were
held in the family until the death of the last direct male heir in 1620.
At the marriage of Elizabeth, daughter of James Heriot, of Trabroun, to
Sir Thomas Hamilton, of Priestfield (their son became ist Earl of Haddington),
was a witness,

1549; he died (circ.) 1570. His son was
George Heriot (died 1625), tenant of Longniddrie. His son was
Robert Heriot (died after 1667), tenant of Longniddrie. His second son was

DURN FORD OF DEVONSHIRE
"Magna Britannica" states that the name Durnford, which was anciently
spelled "de Derneford," derives its name from a village in Normandy; that the
family received for its services at the battle of Hastings, grants of land in Devon
and Cornwall, including Rame Head, acquired by marriage with the daughter of
Rame of Rame. The branch described below has for centuries borne the ram's
head for arms. According to tradition the family came over with William the
Conqueror. There are lands in North Cadbury, Somersetshire, still called "Durn-
ford's Grounds." The parish registers of North Cadbury shew that toward the
end of the 16th century one of the church wardens was William Durnford. It it
likely that he was a descendant of that William Durnford who died about the
middle of the 13th century, possessed of various manors in Somersetshire. His ton
John Durnford (born 1590), was a church warden of North Cadbury. His son was
John Durnford (born 1629), of North Cadbury. Tlie family were Royalists, and
